Blood Letting - History
Blood Letting Past

Started letting overseas
First treatment was always letting
Bled for severity

Bleed TCM “typical points”, Master Tung’s points, Dr. Maher’s

“zones” of bleeding.
Bled for pain, internal disorders, infectious, chronic, weird

diseases, anytime needling didn’t work

Blood Letting Early Days:

the 4-humors in Europe

Bl
Blood-letting
d l tti ((or bl
bloodletting,
dl tti now iin medicine
di i referred
f d tto as
phlebotomy) was a popular medical practice from antiquity up
to the late 19th century.
Despite William Harvey disproving the basis of the practice in

1628 and the introduction of scientific medicine, la méthode
numérique, allowing Pierre Louise to demonstrate that
phlebotomy was entirely ineffective in the treatment of
pneumonia and various fevers in the 1800s in 1840 a
lecturer at the Royal College of Physicians would still state
that "blood-letting is a remedy which, when judiciously
employed, it is hardly possible to estimate too highly" and
Louis was dogged by the sanguinary Broussais, who could
recommend leeches fifty at a time.”

Western Medicine’s Current View Point
Blood loss is a method of controlling stored iron

levels.
Blood letting, practiced long ago, is returning to
conventional medicine to treat Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease, cancer and diabetes.
Blood-sucking leaches could theoretically protect
against age-related iron overload and thus promote
longevity, though blood letting is currently the
preferred method.
New Italian study on MSMS, An Italian doctor has
been getting dramatic results with a new type of
treatment for Multiple Sclerosis, or MS, which
affects up to 2.5 million people worldwide.
CHINESE EXPLANATION:
WHY RELIEVE VENOUS PRESSURE?
Master Tung was quoted as saying; “in in long

term illness, there must be stasis” “In odd
diseases there must be stasis” In painful
disorders there must be stasis” “In serious
illness there must be stasis” (Dr. James
Maher)

Nei Jing:
– “In protracted illnesses, impeded flow of qi and blood in
th meridians
the idi iis causeddbby di
disturbance
t b iin th
the nutrient
t i t and
d
defensive systems”, “accumulation of blood stasis is due
to traumatic injury, “retention of pathogenic cold produces
obstruction of the meridians”
Ye Tian Shi:
– “The meridians and collaterals are impaired in chronic
disease” Blood letting done from 3-5pm is double the
effect tayi yang time (great sap nous vein)
effect,
Other TCM Texts:

– “Blood stasis occurs in protracted, difficult, and odd
diseases”
In Ru Men Shi Qin
– “To
To let blood,
blood Tai Yang and Yang Ming are more suitable
for they have abundant blood. Shao Yang channel is not
suitable for blood-letting, for it has little blood.” Dr. Zhang
often bled on Tai Yang channel on the back, because the
back is the pathway of Tai Yang channel and “Tai Yang
dominates the exterior/superficial”. Hence to treat sore,
carbuncle, boil, and acne, Dr. Zhang often bled to dredge
the heat of Tai Yang channel.
Dr Wei-Chieh
Dr. Wei Chieh Young paraphrasing in his book book,
“Tung Acupuncture”

Lingshu
– This can be used to drain fevers
fevers, to draw blood
blood, and to
exhaust chronic diseases."
Suwen
– When one administers acupuncture during the spring, it is
appropriate to needle shu (stream) points. In fact,
bloodletting is a preferred technique....In the summer, one
can also practice bloodletting, but it is preferable to use
superficial luo points. Allow the bleeding to stop by itself,
so that the pathogen will be completely eliminated
How to Relieve Venous Pressure?

Bleed veins, NOT ARTERIES
Use 18 gauge hypodermic needle or 3 edge
needle
Bleed the area, NOT the point! Find the protruding
vein(s)
Let points clot on their own
Don’t bleed pints! (Old European way)
One or two areas at a time, at most.
If needed, induce pressure to find vein, then prick
If you are going to needle? Let first, then needle.

Safety First!
Always assume everyone has a disease.
Always use gloves,
gloves disposable needles
needles.
Bleed once every 7-10 days at MOST! (2-3 weeks)
You DON’T need a 3 edge needle, use 18 gauge.
Less is more: don’t bleed pints, but a few
teaspoons!
Do NOT bleed:
– Pregnant, Coumadin, clotting disorders, anemic,
diabetic, old, weak, but you can bleed “Xu”
patients, it’s not only a for “excess patients.”

BRIDGING THE GAP

Venous Reduction Explained
What happens when we bleed? (benefits)
– Great way y to rejuvenate
j blood cells and stimulate the
circulatory system and organs
– New blood cells produced by your body aid longevity
– Periodic blood donation can cut the heart death rate, and
your body will create more fresh blood and give you more
energy.
– Research also show that it can reduce the extra iron in your
body and protect you from cardiovascular diseases. results:
– Less iron free radicals, your blood vessels will live longer,
your heart and liver will be less damaged, the younger you
start donating the better it is for you
(blood donors, letting, menstrual: why women live longer)
Venous Reduction Explained

Vein don’t have muscles, like arteries, inherently they will stagnate,
they are return blood supply-
Veins
V i are blbloodd vessels

d tto
the heart. With the exception of the pulmonary veins, all veins carry
blood that is low in oxygen content –
Veins carry blood at relatively low pressures compared to arteries.
Because of this, they have relatively thin walls. There is no muscle
in the walls of veins. Interestingly, some veins in the legs have small
one-way valves along their length.
Both veins and arteries are vital for the proper movement of blood
throughout your body. They have similar, yet subtly difference
functions. Only together can they move oxygen, wastes, and other
nutrients around your body
Veins are a “closed loop system” from vein back to the heart. The
superficial are interrelated with the deep, it’s a “vacuum”

Research
Veins, Arteries and Nerves

Blood vessels and nerves: common signals, pathways and
diseases.
Abstract
Both blood vessels and nerves are vital channels to and from
tissues. Recent genetic insights show that they have much
more in common than was originally anticipated. They use
similar signals and principles to differentiate, grow and
navigate towards their targets. Moreover, the vascular and
nervous systems cross-talk and, when deregulated, this
contributes to medically important diseases. The realization
that both systems use common genetic pathways should not
only form links between vascular biology and neuroscience,
but also promises to accelerate the discovery of new
mechanistic insights and therapeutic opportunities.

Connection Between
Shallow and Deep Veins
Perforator veins serve as connections between the two networks
of veins in the extremities, the superficial venous system and the
deep venous system.
Perforators connect the two parallel systems, somewhat like the
rungs of a ladder connect the side rails, and normally drain
blood from the superficial veins to the deep veins as part of the
process of returning oxygen-depleted blood to the heart.
Perforator veins have one-way valves designed to prevent
backflow of blood down towards the superficial veins. When
those valves no longer function properly and reflux occurs, the
buildup of blood and pressure can cause not only the superficial
veins but the perforators themselves to become incompetent.
Perforator veins in the lower leg and ankle are particularly
vulnerable to distention and incompetence, and the resultant
circulatory problems create an increased likelihood of edema,
skin discoloration, dermatitis and skin ulcers in the immediate
area.
What is REALLY happening?

[The importance of prostaglandins and cyclic nucleotides in the mechanism of action of the
transfusion of blood and its components]
[Abstract
The authors studied changes in the content of groups E and F2 prostaglandins (PGE and PGF2) and
cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) in blood of dogs after 20 ml/kg blood loss as well as in
transfusion of whole blood, plasma and 10 ml/kg packed erythrocytes after preliminary blood letting. It
was established that after loss of blood the concentration of PGE, cAMP and cGMP increases while
the concentration of PGF2 in the blood reduces. It is also shown that transfusion of whole blood
facilitates correction of the content of prostaglandins and cyclic nucleotides in the blood. The
posthemorrhagic changes of most of the studied indices are normalized in the 24 hours after
transfusion of packed erythrocytes, transfusion of plasma fails to correct the revealed shifts.
Prostaglandin F2-alpha: One of the prostaglandins, a group of hormone-like substances that
participate in a wide range of body functions such as the contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle,
the dilation and constriction of blood vessels, control of blood pressure, and modulation of
inflammation. Prostaglandin F2-alpha(PGF-2 alpha) is a stable prostaglandin that stimulates the
contraction of uterine and bronchial smooth muscle and produces vasoconstriction (tightening) in some
blood vessels.
A prostaglandin is any member of a group of lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from
fatty acids and have important functions in the animal body. Every prostaglandin contains 20 carbon
atoms, including a 5-carbon ring.
They are mediators and have a variety of strong physiological effects, such as regulating the
contraction and relaxation of smooth muscle tissue
tissue.[1]
[1] Prostaglandins are not hormones,
hormones but
autocrines or paracrines, which are locally acting messenger molecules. They differ from hormones in
that they are not produced at a discrete site but in many places throughout the human body. Also, their
target cells are present in the immediate vicinity of the site of their excretion (of which there are many).
This is what “moving qi and moving blood”

means

Research on “Letting”; Venous
Congestion/Reduction
On consciousness and heart rate in patients with apoplexy.
Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin 300193, China.
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of blood-letting puncture at Twelve Well-
Points of Hand on consciousness and heart rate in patients with early
apoplexy.
METHOD: Under observation were patients with disturbance of
consciousness within 3 days after the apoplectic seizure. The patients were
divided into a large injury team, a moderate injury team and a mild injury
team. Each team was again randomly divided into a puncture group and a
control group, with routine treatment in both groups but blood-letting
puncture only in the puncture group. Quantitative changes in consciousness,
blood pressure and heart rate of the patients were observed.
RESULT: Blood-letting puncture at Twelve Well-Points of Hand can improve
the consciousness and raise the systolic pressure in patients of the mild
injury team, and accelerate the heart rate in all the patients in the puncture
group.
CONCLUSION: Blood-letting puncture at Twelve Well-Points of Hand
can improve the consciousness of patients with brain injury in small
area.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of "Weizhong" (BL40) bleeding on sciatic nerve
conduction velocity (SNCV) and interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) content of the lumbar
vertebral nucleus pulposus tissue in experimental lumbar intervertebral disc protrusion
(LIDP) rabbits so as to explore the underlying mechanism of blood letting in the
treatment of LIDP.
Five patients were treated with ordinary acupuncture upon the contralateral SI-3 (Hou-
Hsi) point alone. Seven patients were first treated with bloodletting acupuncture to the
engorged vein around the ipisilateral Bl-40 (Wei-Chung), and then followed by ordinary
acupuncture upon the contralateral SI-3. It was demonstrated that bloodletting
acupuncture to the engorged vein around the ipisilateral Bl-40
Bl 40 followed by ordinary
acupuncture upon the contralateral SI-3 had more pain relief than ordinary acupuncture
upon the contralateral SI-3 alone (83 [ or -] 23% vs. 44 [ or -] 28%) (P < 0.01). And
bloodletting acupuncture to the engorged vein around the ipisilateral Bl-40 decreased
pain by 56 [ or -] 23%, similar to that of ordinary acupuncture upon the contralateral SI-3
alone (44 [ or -] 28%). These findings suggest that bloodletting acupuncture to the
engorged vein around the ipisilateral Bl-40 (Wei-Chung) has a substantial
contribution for treatment of acute lumbar sprain.

Relationship between arm pain and distension of arteries and veins caused by elevation of transmural
pressure in local vascular segments.
Aviation Medicine Dept., National Defence Research Establishment, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm,
Sweden. ola.eiken@fyfa.ki.se
Abstract
METHODS: Increased distending pressures (DP) in the vasculature of the arm were accomplished by
placing the subject (n = 8) in a pressure chamber with one arm positioned through a port in the
chamber door, and increasing chamber pressure to +180 mm Hg in a stepwise manner. Diameters in
the brachial artery and in the brachial, radial and cephalic veins were measured by ultrasonography.
Changes in forearm volume were estimated from measurement of tissue impedance. Perceived pain
was rated using a 10-point scale.
RESULTS: Arm pain increased with pressure to a maximum rating of 8.5 (= median; range: 4-10).
Increasing DP from 30 to 180 mm Hg resulted in a steady increase (p < 0.05) in venous diameter
which varied from 12 +/- 8% (mean +/- SD) in the brachial vein to 23 +/- 14% in the radial vein. Inthe
brachial vein diameter increases were most pronounced at the sites of the venous valves. Arterial
diameter was unchanged up to a DP of about 200 mm Hg (calculated as diastolic arterial pressure +
applied chamber pressure), but then increased by 32 +/- 9% (p < 0.001). Forearm impedance dropped
with increasing pressure (delta = 23 +/- 5%; p < 0.01); the rate of change was non-linear with a faster
change at the highest DP which may indicate pressure distension of precapillary resistance vessels.
CONCLUSIONS: Elevation of pressure in arm vessels to levels that may occur in pilots flying
high-performance aircraft results in distension not only of veins but also of arteries and
probably of smaller precapillary vessels. Therefore, and because these changes coincide with
the development of severe arm pain, local overdistension of blood vessels remains a plausible
cause of G-induced arm pain.

Bone pain and pressure in osteoarthritic joints.

Washington, Box 356428, Seattle, WA 98195, USA.
Abstract
Intraosseous hypertension has been associated with a deep aching
bone pain, particularly at rest, in subsets of patients with osteoarthritis of
the hip and knee. The pathophysiology of this problem remains
uncertain, but intraosseous phlebography implicates outflow impairment
at relatively distal venous sites. Although the issue has been
controversial, intraosseous pressures rise normally, and painlessly,
when epiphyseal bone is loaded and these pulses may be mechanically
meaningful in the distribution and transmission of impact energy.

response with subsequent intravasation of epiphyseal fat leading to
'marrow oedema' and altered mechanics. The relationship between
persisting pain and pressure is an old but convincing association. Its
precise mechanism in osteoarthritis remains in need of an adequate
explanation.

CAN ALWAYS BLEED LOCAL TRAUMA AREA- not as effective, but still works
So where does this leave us?

Blood letting is just another tool you can use to help patients when herbs,
massage, needles, whatever you use isn't enough. Understand the principal;
venous congestion; then apply it how you see fit- needles/herbs/bleed/ etc
We know now, pressure in the blood system, i.e. “stagnation in the
circulation system” causes disease and pain. Many anti inflammatory, and
healing agents are produced and circulated through out the body when we
let out the old nutrient poor blood. We know nerves, arteries, and veins all
communicate. So if one part is healed, we can heal all parts.
You can best educate your patients on the important of proper blood flow,
and then you and your patients can best chose how to fix that blood flow
problem. Why does exercise help so much? Your muscles contract pushing
the venous blood/the stagnated blood/ the oxygen poor blood back to the
heart!
Bleeding is not “letting bad blood out”, there's no magic in it. Its about re-
establishing new fresh blood into the system. We are adding new oxygen
nutrient rich water into their old lake. Get the dirty old water out, get new
fresh water in! This is not European bleeding of pints for fevers and
pneumonia. This is medicine! Backed by science.

Before we go…..
Remember its not about bleeding!!! Its
about “movement”
movement of the blood
blood, its
about new blood, oxygen rich blood,
oxygen (qi) being produced and
circulated! I say the best way to do
that is bleeding, but you can pick any
modality that helps
helps.
